Otter Cliff House is such a great location and home for a trip to Acadia National Park. Everything about the house is clean, comfortable and effortless so we could enjoy our stay. We enjoyed walking directly from the house to many shoreline spots. Being in the heart of the park allowed each member of our party to eat, relax or hike as needed. Great for families or small groups that like a home base with some individual freedom. The house is so well appointed with all the things we wanted to feel truly relaxed: AC, throw blankets, patio furniture, we'll stocked kitchen and baths to make cleaning up after ourselves a breeze.

Great location!

Young family getting away for a week. Perfect spot - right up against the national park and just a couple minutes from town, but felt super secluded and very quiet.

We had a wonderful time in and around Acadia. This property was perfect for our family, and the location cannot be beat. The owner was amazing, providing us suggestions on activities, and always available for questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our vacation!

Perfect location for exploring the area without being in the very busy and crowded town of Bar Harbor. Only 10 minutes away. A very comfortable home with a great back yard for enjoying the fall colors, cool temps, and evening fire pit. Host was wonderful. Would definitely recommend!

Acadia NP in October

Loved challenging hikes, autumn foliage, rocky coastlines, and Bar Harbor cuisine. The Otter Cliff property was in a great location - secluded, yet could walk to Thunderhole and numerous hiking trails. Also, only a five minute drive from the action in Bar Harbor. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Location

The home's location was great as a starting point for all adventures in Acadia. Many things to do & see within a few minutes drive. The home itself was clean and comfortable with a great property to have dinner outside and wander around in the yard. Sherri was great and gave us the lowdown of a lot of things about & around the area.

Loved our stay at Otter Cliff House. It was clean and well stocked. The owner was very helpful with questions we had about the area. The property feels very remote but is only a 3 minute drive to the Sieur de Monts entrance to Acadia and about 7 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. We saw wild turkeys and a couple of babies nearly every day in the yard which was neat.

Loved the Otter Cliff House

We had a wonderful time at the Otter Cliff House. It was perfect for the 5 of use. It was well stocked and very clean when we arrived. It’s just the right distance to drive back and forth from Bar Harbor. Sherri was a great host and checked in several times to see if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying there and would stay there again.

Great Location

This was our second year staying at this house. The house and location is perfect for our group of four (including two teenagers). It's quiet and secluded, and a short walk to the ocean. Sherri is awesome and very communicative!

Perfect location for seeking aventure in Acadia NP

The house very clean and had everything that you would have in your own house. It was like being at home. The location was perfect for getting around Acadia and seeing all the sites and exploring awesome trails. It was also 5 minutes from Bar Harbor but secluded enough to be away from it all, in a nice quite suburban setting. Over all we loved it thank you very much.

The location, which was practically inside the park, was great. Less than a mile from the ocean. The kitchen was sufficient for the meals we cooked there. The beds were comfortable. We usually spent the evening playing cards around the dining room table. We also took advantage of the Smart TV to watch some Netflix shows from our account. We especially appreciated the motion sensing nightlights when we got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathrooms. The hammocks were a nice touch as well.

If you are looking for the perfect location to explore the island and have a comfortable and relaxing stay, look no further! The home is extremely private, quiet and cozy! we hiked and explored hard every day we were here and at the end of the day this was the perfect place to be! Sherri was very kind and easy to contact. She was willing to do anything to make our stay perfect. Sherri is a wonderful host and we would not hesitate to stay here again! If your coming to Mt Desert Island & Acadia this is your place to stay!
